Russia bans transsexual and transgender people from driving

[Kuya]

Seriously

Russia has listed transsexual and transgender people among those who will no longer qualify for driving licences.

Fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism are also included as "mental disorders" now barring people from driving.

The government says it is tightening medical controls for drivers because Russia has too many road accidents.

I don't even understand this reasoning.

And also, sure, let's make it even harder for transsexual people to work. Hope they don't complain when they turn to prostitution.

I'm not even touching on their reasoning for adding fetishism, exhibitionism and voyeurism to that list too.

I don't even understand this reasoning.

I understand the reasoning, even if I don't agree with it. They consider it a mental disorder, which is obviously wrong. But once you've already established that it's an easy leap to make.

[Charismatic]

Its Russia.
They quite literally do not give a fuck.

If you want to rage just look at their stance when it comes to gays, immigration or... really any hot button issue.

[NynJa]

Getting upset over something Russia does is like getting upset when it gets cold in winter.

And astoundingly, I wind up encountering a lot of people who go "oh my its so cold outside, this is terrible"...in the middle of January...in Canada...

Keep them off the streets so they have more time to practice their fetishism at home, i approve.

I think it's more to do with driving skills. Men>>>>>>women>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>asian transgender people.

I foresee a lot of "Make up to $2,000 a week working from home!" ads popping up.

[hey]

We need to just get rid of russia already.

[Titanss]

Russia, the land of opportunity to do what ever the fuck you want if you have power or have a great pc in a dark basement.

[GoggleHead]

We need to just get rid of russia already.

This is the only correct response to the situation really, it's not salvageable anymore.

We need to just get rid of russia already.

in the middle of winter? are you insane?

[Andalusian girls]

We need to just get rid of russia already.

yet still a drastic improvement over the Soviet Union or the 19th (!) century serfdom of the Tzars

Russia may be a semi-functional expansionary kleptocracy with a KGB psychopath helming the boat, but it's good to remember this is progress

give them another hundred years and they may just join civilization

Relax, I got this.

Without Russia, Canada would have no competition in international hockey, we need Russia!

[Waraji]

That would be the smallest imaginable price to pay. Would pay, every time.

That would be the smallest imaginable price to pay. Would pay, every time.

But I could no longer learn Judo with Putin.

It's Russia logic doesn't apply.

90% of the drivers in America have some sort of mental or sexual disorder already. According to this fact I just made up.

[BaneTheBrawler]

fact checks out. source: i drove once

[Abandon]

at this point, i don't see why people still get mad over what russia does while Putin is king shit over on turd hill. I just laugh at it all, especially when you realize nothing will change until that nigga dies.

[Abandon]

that being said, russia was one of the most amazing places I've ever been while on deployment. 11/10
